This old fug isn't worth a 2nd round pick in 2020. If we traded for him I will reconsider my fanship.

EDIT: Was a salary dump. That's fine.

Ratliff to Charlotte is a salary dump, obviously. Future conditional pick that Spurs will probably never see.

is that a salary dump for us? or did we pick him up for nothing, basically becus we are supper injured at C?

Yeah can't be a salary dump if all we traded was a future 2nd. This is ok for this season, gives us some insurance and someone who can contributr more than Diop

Maybe we will trade for Eric Snow next.

I was hoping we'd use that extra roster spot for a SG.

Hard to complain about extra defensive presence in the post that LB can count on to produce. We've picked up two VERY strong additions to our post defense today. It's going to show up on the scoreboard.

He was pretty good 10 years ago. Will fill the useless void left by the departure of Juwan Howard in the offseason.

Should have just kept Juwan.

I didnt think you were a fan, at least from what I see on here.

I agree 100%, this is an incredible move for basically giving up nothing. He has played in the playoffs and not many on our team can say that.

Gotta remember how important playoff experience is fellas.

Just bumping this up...

Theo has been incredibly solid and in case anyone doesn't know, the Bobcats actually didn't give anything up for Theo. The deal is for a 2016 2nd round pick that is contingent on the Bobcats making the finals this season.
